Not really a surprising result given how Laura has done in recent weeks. As it turns out, she would have been much better off ending her season a month ago rather than carrying on into November for no reward. The start of 2017 will be huge for her.
You have to wonder how much longer she will want to carry on if the results she's been having just lately don't improve. It surely can't be much fun given the heady heights she was occupying prior to the injury.
I agree - think the start of 2017 will indeed be crucial.
